New Beginning's

Fred unfortunatly has been laid off of work again which is twice in 7 months, so he has started a great amazing project in our house which he has been working so hard on.

We both wanted hard wood floors and then decided new paint to go with it. I chose blue so Fred has been working hard and getting our house new and beautiful.Struggles can happen when one or the other loses their job but great things can come out of it as well. Fred makes a wonderful stay at home mom. Fred is always making sure everything is done in the house and the kids are perfectally taken care of.

I am so proud of him for for working hard for our family to keep us together. I have always said I found my soul mate and I do believe with everything we have been through Fred is that soul mate of mine.

The start to a New Year together

2010 has started already and we are super busy already! The holidays have come and gone and we had an amazing time with family and friends.Feb 6th is coming up which mean it is time for softball sign ups again for Baylee. We are so excited because 8 months out of the year this is what we do. Fred is going to coach her team through the season again, whcih is always so much fun for him and Baylee as well to have her dad there to help.

Alex is still isn't sure he wants to play any sports so we will let him decide when he is ready, no pressure for him at all. Alex love to go to the softball games and find other little kids to run around and play with. Alex also loves to sit and watch and sing all the softball songs to cheer his big sister on.

Fred is still holding strong with his new job and we both hope it all goes well. Fred was blessed to have found a job so quickly and not have to be unemployed for very long. Fred has started a new semester of school in communications which he says is going good so far. I am so proud of him for sticking with his schooling. Fred has been going to school for 3 years now and hopefully in 2 more he will be done and get his associates degree.

Our family has been doing very well and moving forward with every day that passes to make out lives the best we can have!!xoxo Mrs. Garrett

The beginning to the holidays..

The holidays are always so much around our house. We always start off withe great family and friends for Thanksgiving and make our rounds to see everyone and pick at some of the famous goodies they make that day.

The weekend after Thanksgiving we all go as a family and pick out the best tree we can find and get the house and tree all decorated. We leave the outside lights to dad, I string the lights on the tree and the kids always put on all the rest of the tree decorations.

I always make sure I get my kids the 24 chocolates till christmas calendars so they can enjoy a sweet treat after dinner and they love them.

I always look forward to seeing what the kids ask Santa for every year and so far he always has his work cut out for him.
Baylee asked for a guinea pig so she can have her own pet to take care of (she must have forgotten about the cat Santa got her 5 years ago) and Alex wants all sorts of Transformers and GI Joe toys. I was happy to see they both asked for new clothes and PJ's too.

I look forward to the holiday season with all my loved ones and can't wait for the wonderful new year!!

Halloween

Halloween is always a super fun time of year with our family. Taking the kids to get a costume and decorating the house together makes it all fun when we can spend time together. The kids were troopers when we went out Trick or Treating (we were as well). Now that Halloween has passed looks like we are headed for the next holiday.. I can't wait!!

Happy Birthday Ethan

Nine years ago I had a beautiful boy who has since grown into a smart, handsome young man. October 1st, 2000 was a special day for many people. I brought this boy into the world to become a special part of his new family. He has grown to be such a smart and talented person. I am so thankful for his family who keeps in contact with me, so I am able to watch him grow up and know how he is. Ethan you are an amazing boy and I am so proud of who you are. I do believe I gave him more and will always love Ethan's family!!

Happy Birthday to Ethan

My kids and I spend alot of time together. Dad gets busy with work and school so I make sure they go everywhere with me. I love my kids they help keep me young.

Baylee has always had a love for animals, but horses are her very favorite. Her uncle Donnie took her horseback riding with him and his kids and she had so much fun. They ran out of saddles and Baylee was all excited to be a tough girl and ride bareback.

Alex finally started Kindergarten this year, and he was super excited. I on the other hand was bummed out because he is my baby. Alex was so brave didn't cry or anything when I took him to school, he ran right into class found his desk and sat right down. I kept thinking to myself "what he isn't going to miss me" lol.

Alex had the best day, although he doesn't like his homework because he si not use to it yet, but he will do just fine with everything.

Fall Ball update

Baylee's team Kazam for Fall ball is still undefeated, they are 5 and 0 now. We played against another 12u team that was also undefeated, but our girl beat them by one point, and man was it a great game. I also stay on on my toes during the games getting nervous for the girls to win.. I will keep you posted on our games, we have 4 more game left then they will take November thru March off till the new season starts.
